Damn but you are ok and that is all that matters! Car can be replaced! Looks like the IS took the hit well and as long as you're safe then it's all good.

Daaaaaaaaang! I hate seeing that! I was just at Sherman Way and Canoga earlier today! Ugh! Glad you are okay though! Everything is just metal and rubber when all is said and done. Can be replaced. Thanks for sharing with us and please take care.

Nice tinted tails.

That is a nasty crash - it's good to see that Lexus safety is up to par.

Hey bud, hope you are OK. I know I would have cried too. Thanks for the pics, it let's us all know that they can take a pretty good beating and keep us safe. Hope you get you a new one. I have the 2008 IS350 and am thinking about trading up to the F.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Like others have said, the main thing is that you're ok. The car can always be replaced.
